At first, it should target people who want to use Tax-Calculator on their local computer, and therefore, include simple instructions about how to get started and include static HTML documentation of policy parameters and input variables.  Eventually, it would be desirable to add a mailing list for users.  This user website would be accessible to those without any Python knowledge.\r\n\r\nAlthough the projects are much bigger and more complex than Tax-Calculator, two examples of what seem to me to be successful user websites are those for [SQLite](http://www.sqlite.org/) and especially [Fossil](http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki).\r\n\r\nThis issue hopes to stimulate a discussion about how best to provide such a website.  All comments and suggestions are welcome.\r\n\r\n@MattHJensen @feenberg @Amy-Xu @andersonfrailey @GoFroggyRun @codykallen @PeterDSteinberg"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/open-source-economics/Tax-Calculator/issues/comments/284562663","html_url":"https://github.com/open-source-economics/Tax-Calculator/issues/1218#issuecomment-284562663","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/open-source-economics/Tax-Calculator/issues/1218","id":284562663,"user":{"login":"martinholmer","id":12170745,"avatar_url":"https://avatars2.githubusercontent.com/u/12170745?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/martinholmer","html_url":"https://github.com/martinholmer","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/martinholmer/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/martinholmer/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/martinholmer/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/martinholmer/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/martinholmer/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/martinholmer/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/martinholmer/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/martinholmer/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/martinholmer/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2017-03-06T22:59:32Z","updated_at":"2017-03-06T22:59:32Z","body":"@PeterDSteinberg, Thanks for the mailing list suggestion.  Can the capability you mention handle a mailmain mailing list like [this one](http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users) and its archive like [this one](http://www.mail-archive.com/fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org/)?"}}
